Summer Skin
[Verse 1]
Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
On the night you left, I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart, I couldn't win
[Outro]
'Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
